Singer Seo In Young appeared as a guest on YTN's 'Ho Joon Suk's News In' on September 30. On this day, she was asked about G-Dragon's style. She responded, "I think he is the best dressed out of all the male and female idols. First of all, G-Dragon does an incredible amount of challenging styles. I received a lot of criticism when I tried to experiment with challenging styles, but it seems like he receives little to no criticism, maybe because he is a male idol. In addition, I think he is able to naturally express his style while matching it to his stage performances." She was also asked about the fashion style of South Korea's female president, Park Geun Hye. Seo In Young said, "I saw her a lot on television and she seems to dress very well and neatly. Politicians tend to wear the same clothes in an old-fashioned way because of their job, but she dresses well according to the circumstances." Meanwhile, Seo In Young is currently promoting her latest title song 'Love Me,' so make sure to check it out!

BIGBANG’s SEUNGRI left 30,000 enthusiastic Japanese fans awe-struck with his dynamic performance at Japan’s largest fashion and music festival. At the GirlsAward 2013 AUTUMN / WINTER, Japan’s largest fashion and music festival held at the Yoyogi National Stadium First Gymnasium in Tokyo on Sept 28, SEUNGRI made an appearance to deliver a grand ending of the fest. ‘GirlsAward’, held every two years since 2010, marked its 8th festival with 210 guests, including Japan’s 70 top stars from 14 teams, Koda Kumi, Negoto, May. J, and 129 models, along with 5 MCs. It is indeed Japan’s largest festival. At the end of the 7-hour event, SEUNGRI left the audience awe-struck with his three songs, ‘GOTTA TALK TO YOU’, ‘LET’S TALK ABOUT LOVE’, and ‘STRONG BABY’. The first song will be released in Japan on Oct 9 as the title song for his debut album. SEUNGRI, thanks to his fluent Japanese language skills, was selected as the first foreign artist to MC for Japanese FUJI TV’s main program ‘Motejo 100’. He proved his fluency in Japanese by introducing his self-produced album to the Japanese fans, even adding a witty comment, “Promotion is very important, you know?” He added, “As you can see, I am here as a solo artist today. I don’t have G-DRAGON or T.O.P by my side, or the great dancer TAEYANG or the handsome DAESUNG. But I want to enjoy the show with you, the 30,000 fans. I will now sing BIGBANG’s ‘FANTASTIC BABY’ for you.” And he did—and he did it well. The audience exploded in applauds and cheering, making the performance a perfect ending for the festival. SEUNGRI, as a solo artist in Japan, will appear on NHK’s ‘MUSIC JAPAN’ on Oct 3 for a performance of his song, and on SSTV’s ‘V.I (from BIGBANG) Special’ on Oct 5. He is also scheduled to hold a release-special event to celebrate his solo debut in Tokyo and Nagoya.

On Sept 30, YG announced through the official homepage of ‘WIN’ on Daum portal site that the winner is Team A. 51.37% of the viewers voted for Team A while 48.63% for Team B, which concluded as an almost neck-and-neck competition. It is a surprise to many as Team B won the votes of the judges on the show. The viewers saw the battle differently. YG explained, “The analysis of the viewers by Nielson Korea showed that the majority of the viewers were made up of women in their 20’s, followed by men in their 20’s and then women in their 40’s. This shows that Team A benefited from having 2 members who are already well known to the public—Kang Seung Yoon and Lee Seung Hoon.” WIN is YG’s ambitious project to form the first boy group in 7 years since BIGBANG. The winning team of the 10-week program will make a debut on the group name WINNER.
